Why is it so fluffy?

Hey everyone, hagbard here, long time reader, first time poster.
I'm trying grain spawn for the first time, done several successful BRF runs before, so I thought rye couldn't be so hard.
Followed the tek in Let's Grow Mushrooms dvd, used a still air box with 2 arm holes cut into the side and some vet's gloves taped into it, so it's theoretically pretty isolated.
Used a liquid culture I made from prints from a smart shop.
Nocced several jars, they're all growing white fluffy stuff all over, with some bright green spots, doesn't look very rhizomorphic.
Can someone tell me what I've got here?

All those wet grains are bacteria. Maybe make your grains drier and pc for an extra 30 minutes to an hour. I upped my pc times to 2 hours because of that.

I see, ok, back to the drawing board. Thanks for the help.
Not that this would save anything but, do you think there is ANY healthy myc in there? Is the white fluffy stuff all cobwebs or just some un-rhizomorphic cube myc?

Awww, poor little guys. I'll do another longer PC run and see if I can help them out.
Thanks again.

Hey friends! I'm back with another attempt. I PCed the grains for 3 hours this time, and I really dried them after the initial boiling, so that there is no standing water in the jars at all.
Here's the first pic, most of the jars look like this now, which I think is fine, looks like healthy mic, all milky white, no green slimey stuff any where.

Maybe I"m being too paranoid, but the only thing that still worries me slightly is this thin, wispy stuff. I think it might be just thin layers of myc since it looks to be spreading in a wave like pattern, but I'd like to make sure.

Here's the fluffy stuff on top and not against the glass.

If someone can take a look at these and tell me how they're doing I'd really appreciate it.

I found this in the "what it should & shouldn't look like" thread.
Looks a bit similar, thin wispy white growth. Do I have some cobwebs in here?
